As the lime FER the city election draws
near there is more or less buzzin& on
street corners as to available candidates
for the offices. For Mayor we have
heard thus far but three spoken OF
MeSsrs. II. W. deLion, Frank A. Bart
lett and the present incumbent. Mayor
Smith, on being interviewed today by an
Argus reporter, said he was not a candi-
date for re election; that il the people
saw lit to re elect him, of course he
would appreciate the hoHor, ard would
serve rs faithfully as during the past
year: out that he was ia no sense u can
didate. 1t took too much OF his time to
be profitable financially, and he did not
seek any more of the worry and labor
necessary to fill the office we'll. Either
of the other gentlemen mentioned would
doubtless serve wish credit to themselves
and honor TO the city. Capt. deLion
has just completed tVo years of active
service ia the council He would have
been elected mayor last ear but for the
fact Of there being third candidate in
the field, and also that many desired to
retain him on the board of cOuncilmen.
Frank Bartlett has every qualification
necessary for good mayor; we do not
know, however, whether he desires the
Office or not

CHICAGO. May 14-The wheat market opened at
tween s6ssc and Ioc. and then took an upward
shoot to s6sc, on a little show of buying by the
clique brokers. In the meantime the long futures
were very weak. August opened at s3aac, and sold
down to s34c As the session advanced business be-
came duller and duller There were no orders from
outside and the whole days transactions prac-
tcaly between brokers' The clique did very little
UP and down with great freedom. June wheat sold
early low S614c and high SO 7sc. but later
transactions were between $3.50 and S6l2c. The
clique did not get much wheat when the June option,
got up s67sc, and prices were accordingly allowed
10 ease off The crowd was indisposed to do bust
ness to any great extent and the tactics of yester
day failed TO work. 1t easy matter for the
clique get wheat yesterday, and the weaker

but the work of the last Ave minutes of the afternoon
session. when prices up 12c. had frightened

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
The Volume of Business in the Week Clos
ing To-Day Has Been Highly Satisfactory.


The volume of business in the week ending to day
has been highly satisfactory and in departments
exceeds that of any previous week of the present
year. The tone of prices has been steady and firm
throughout the week cofees alone being excited. 1t
will be noticed that to-day cofees both roasted and
green advanced another cent per pound making the
advance of the week nearly cents. Sugars very
firm at quotations. but prices continue unchanged
and the present distribution is far above the usual
erage in May. The rice market is in excellent condi
ton; prices firm. There has been noticeable i'm
proveInentn the rnolasses market the last month, and
prices decidedly frmer Oranges and lemons in
good supply, with prices little frer, especially for
lemons, better demand having sprung up the last
few days. The provision market is sluggish
nothing doing except in jobbing way and with the
lighter demand prices slightly the decline. The
produce markets are active. Bright old potatoes
still selling quite readily while new potatoes move
little SOW. Cabbage still high and meeting with slow
sale. Green peas and beans in large supply and
selling WELL when the quality of the stock offered is
trv is not as Arm as in the early part of the week
Eggs steady and in good demand. Butter Is coming
tre narket and it is difficult to sell it at any price
Choice butter however is In good demand at to 10
cents, but it must be really choice to command that
price: much of the creamery butter offered is of
inferior quality The better tone to the -four
ket continues; there is good local demand and fair
demand for the Southern markets and for export.
GRAIN.
There was a strong steady to the wheat market
to-day at unchanged prices. Receipts of all grades
light and little offered at the higher prices
which have ruled for few days past The corn
ket is in such fat condition that it is almost i'm
possible establish good range of prices THERE'S
SOME demand for local consumption. but none for
shipment. yet under all this firm feeling prevails,
and good arrivals would be readily taken at probably
better prices than quote to-day. But receipts
light that it gives the local market
Receipts of still light. and probably this is
fortunate. nobody seems anxious to buy any. The
fact is that sellers of all cereals have confidence that
prices to improve and not disposed to offer
their stocks while prices range so low Track bids

New York Mail and Express.
The son of a we-known New Yorker left the
city. last summer, and went TO India to make
his home with an uncle who had grown rich in
the Orient. Several months ago the family re-
ceived letter from the uncle, saying that his
nephew dead, and the body had been en-
balmed and sent home by sailing chip Last
week the vessel arrived here, and the young
mans parents, attired in deep mourning, went
to receive the remains. A peculiarly shaped
box was delivered to them, and was removed to
their home. When the undertaken opened the
chest Ln give the parents last look at the body
it was found to contain large Bengal tiger
The surprised father at once cabled to his
brother in India:
Some mistake; Georges body not arrived
Coffin contained Bengal tiger"
Last night this answer was received:
